During the summer of 2014, a twister tornado had hit parts of Istanbul. The tornado passed over the Marmara Sea before hitting the Pendik and Tuzla neighborhoods in the east of Turkey’s biggest city and port. It continued its journey to the Kozaeli province.
Tornados happen occasionally in southern Turkey, but rarely in Istanbul in the north of the country. The tornado was the latest extreme weather incident to hit Istanbul, which had an unusually dry spring followed by heavy rain.
The rains caused extensive local flooding. Fences and roofs were damaged and several windows were broken, shattering glass around the area. The tornado had resulted to economic impacts as money was needed to be spent to rebuild buildings and houses for people who were affected from the tornado. Any infrastructure or roads destroyed also needed to be fixed. The environment had an impact because of the devastation that was ruined by the tornado; plants, crops, and trees were destroyed.
